( 0 / 0 )Good News:
This Friday, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) is expected to approve new rules for the telecom industry.
Everybody here in the Philippines who uses a prepaid cellphone SIM card knows the problem. The "load" vanishes after 60 days. This means, the lifetime of the credit loaded on your SIM card is limited to 60 days from the moment of loading it. After 60 days your credit is reset to zero. The telecom industry earns millions of pesos every year without delivering any service.
A nonprofit group called COUP (Cellphone Owners and Users of the Philippines) has filed a class suit in the NTC against network operators with “anomalous” charging practices that lead to so-called "vanishing load".
Under the new NTC rules, a prepaid load of P10 or less will have a three-day validity period, compared with the present policy of both Smart Communications and Globe Telecom of having credits in this bracket expire after only 24 hours.
At the highest end of the range, credits of P600 to P1,000 will have a validity of 180 days from the time they are loaded into a prepaid user’s account.
This represents a 200-percent increase in load shelf life from the present policy of Smart and Globe to have a maximum validity of only 60 days.

( 0 / 0 )Before the Paras Sea Cat started the link from Camiguin to Bohol, the Super Shuttle Ferry had been the only connection between the 2 islands.
The Super Shuttle Ferry sailed in 4 hours between Benoni (Camiguin) and Jagna (Bohol). On some days there was no ferry, on other days it was up to 4 hours late. There had been numbers of incidents (broken engine, fire on board and more).
This has changed! Since Paras had announced and then started the link between Camiguin and Bohol, the Super Shuttle Ferry is always on time. Sometimes it even beats its own records.
This is a fine sample to show how competition can be motivating and improve Quality.

( 0 / 0 )Four people were killed when a twister struck in Alabat Island in Quezon province, an island in the eastern Philippines as tropical storm Feria (Nangka) batters large parts of the country. And two people were injured in the twister that hit the town of Perez , 120 kilometres south-east of Manila, late Tuesday.
All the victims were fishermen who stayed in their boat, which was docked at a wharf in the village of Sangirin when the twister struck.
The accident occurred as tropical storm Nangka pummelled the central and eastern Philippines, killing at least one person and leaving nine missing, according to the National Disaster Coordinating Council.
Thousands of passengers were stranded in various ports in the areas affected by the storm as the coast guard suspended sea travel due to strong winds and huge waves, the agency said.
Classes in elementary and high schools in Manila were also suspended due to heavy rains brought about by Nangka.
The weather bureau said Nangka was spotted early Wednesday 40 kilometres east north-east of Romblon island, 210 kilometres south of Manila.
The storm, which has maximum sustained winds of 75 kilometres per hour and gusts of up to 90 kph, is moving northwest at 19 kph.
It is expected to pass near Manila late Wednesday.
The weather bureau advises residents in low-lying areas, mountainous and coastal areas under the path of Nangka to be prepared against flashfloods, landslides and storm surges.

These 2 strange dogs live in Quezon City. They were born without front legs, but have so elegantly arranged with their infirmities, that the passers-by call them Dogaroos, shot for dog kangaroos. The street vendor, to whom they belong, has been offered a lot of money for the dogs. But he does not want to sell.
